7 Minute Breathhold Instruction, Multi-Orgasmic Breathwork, DMT Activation, How He Rescued The Homeless With Breathing & Much More With Travis Steffens Of "The Breath Source" App.
I’m a big fan of breathwork as a free and highly effective method to control your nervous system, performance, sleep, and much more. The problem is (and perhaps you’ve noticed this) most breathwork apps are heavily secular, a touch “New Agey,” and tend to avoid encouragement of a deeper connection to God or Jesus Christ. In other words, they’re spiritual but not religious, bro. And look, while I certainly use and enjoy such apps, I’ve always thought it odd that there were no good breathwork sessions or apps out there for Christians like me who want to connect more deeply with our Creator through meditation on Scripture, praying to God, or breathing with a focus on the presence of Jesus Christ. So …I’ve started to record my spiritually uplifting, Christian breathwork sessions that forthrightly focus on God and Jesus, meditation on the Bible, and prayer. The good news is that these sessions - from the powerful, invigorating, and challenging Armor of God, Fruits of the Spirit, and Strength of the Lord sessions to peaceful and soothing Jesus Prayer, Shepherd, and Love God sessions are now available on a very impressive new breathwork app I've partnered with called “The Breath Source.” The app has dozens of well-trained instructors and hundreds of beginner to advanced breathwork sessions, including a new section devoted to the Christian breath sessions I am creating. The breathing sessions I designed can be used by anyone with any experience, anywhere (even if you’re not a Christian, I think you’ll enjoy them quite a bit). My guest on today's show is Travis Steffens, the genius mind behind The Breath Source app. For the full show notes, visit: http://bengreenfieldlife.com/breathsourcepodcast Episode Sponsors: Cured Nutrition: Experience enhanced sleep and wake up refreshed with CURED's sleep-enhancing formulas.

During my discussion with Ariel Garten today, we'll dive deep into the world of meditation, dissecting how it can bring serenity to an active mind, and exploring its tangible effects on your overall wellbeing. Ariel will help me unravel the mysteries of how Muse works, turning the complex science of brain activity into a device you can hold in your hand. Lastly, we'll venture into the synergy of meditation with supplements, smart drugs, nootropics, and adaptogens—exploring the exciting possibilities of enhancing mental performance. Muse is a "brain-sensing" headband that uses real-time biofeedback to help you refocus during the day and recover overnight. It doesn't merely soothe with nature sounds; it redefines mindfulness by responding to changes in your brain and body activity in real-time.

The Surprising Benefits of Learning to Freedive, Natural Remedies for ADD, Self-quantification for Athletes and Billionaires and Much More
On a recent trip to the beach, I dove into the ocean depths with Andrés Preschel, a Miami-based fitness wizard and friend of mine who's just as nuts about exercise physiology as I am. Andrés and I chatted about everything from freediving to spearfishing, from breathwork to staying healthy while on the road. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Andrés' story is a testament to perseverance. New York-born but Venezuela-raised, Andrés navigated life with ADD from an early age, all the while dealing with health issues like body dysmorphia, anxiety, insomnia, and more. Yet, in true warrior fashion, he decided to take charge of his own health before his hardest year in high school, stepping off medication and taking on a health-focused journey. Blending a passion for sports with a scientific brain, Andrés dove into the study of human nutrition and physiology, overcoming his personal battles and even acing academic exams in the process. Fast forward, and he's built up quite the résumé: a degree from the University of Miami, numerous academic accolades, and a muscular physique to boot. Currently, as the founder of Know Your Physio and a founding member at Drym Health, Andrés is on a mission to offer lifestyle solutions to the most ambitious people out there, creating data-driven programs for better performance, longer lifespan, ideal body composition, and so much more. When he's not geeking out on health and fitness, you can find him spearfishing, cycling, cooking, or chilling with his loved ones.

Unveiling the Molecule That Supercharges Your Mitochondria, Turns Back the Clock on Aging, and Battles Sleep Deprivation, With Dr. Anurag Singh from Timeline Nutrition.
You may have picked up on this if you're a regular listener, but there's this molecule that I've been pretty jazzed about over the past year: Urolithin A. It's found in tons of the best superfoods, like pomegranates, walnuts, and raspberries, and it's emerging as a serious player in the longevity and age-reversal space, sitting alongside stalwarts like NAD, C60, Astaxanthin, Spermidine, Fish Oil, peptides, stem cells. Yet, I've realized that I haven't dug into the nitty-gritty about Urolithin A. Its sources, bioavailability, and dosing carry some nuances that I haven't fully explored on the podcast. So, I'm bringing in a heavy hitter: Dr. Anurag Singh. He serves as the Chief Medical Officer at Timeline Nutrition, where they develop nutritional and skincare products that focus on enhancing mitochondrial and cellular health. Their star player? A Urolithin A supplement known as Mitopure. Dr. Singh boasts an impressive background, with an M.D. in internal medicine and a Ph.D. in immunology. His resume includes time at both consumer health giants, like Nestlé, and nimble startups, such as Amazentis/Timeline. This man is no stranger to science. With more than 40 articles published in top-tier journals, 15 patents to his name, and over 50 randomized clinical trials under his belt, he brings an extensive understanding of Urolithin A to the table. His research over the past decade has led to the launch of several consumer products. At Timeline, you have him to thank for what they call the "first and only purified Urolithin A supplement backed by 15 years of clinical research with human trials and consistent consumer use."

The Difference Between Getting Stem Cells Internationally Vs. The USA, Peptides, Testosterone & Hormones, Tissue Engineering, DNA Editing, Truths & Myths Of Regenerative Medicine & More
Are you intrigued by the power of stem cells and regenerative medicine but left with questions every time you try to learn more? Questions like: What's better: your own stem cells or a different source? Is it true stem cells "don't work" without some kind of scaffolding to "grow on"? Do you need to combine stem cells with exosomes? Are tissue engineering and gene editing as dangerous as they sound? Can stem cells be combined with peptides and hormones, and if so, how? In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Adeel Khan, you'll have the opportunity to hear the answers to all those questions and many more (that you may not even know you had!). Dr. Adeel Khan is an internationally recognized expert in regenerative medicine, having treated numerous high-profile celebrities and athletes. After earning his MD from the University of Ottawa in Canada, he specialized in sports medicine and led one of the first Health Canada-approved clinical trials with mesenchymal stromal cells. Adeel is now the Chief Scientific Officer of Science & Humans and the co-founder of xALT. In the discussion with Adeel, you'll discover the science of enhancing stem cell function, the difference between stem cells and progenitor cells, the future of gene editing and its interaction with cell therapy and tissue engineering, and even get a sneak peek into Dr. Khan's unique daily routine for optimal health.
